Yes it is legal.....he probably claimed "asylum" to collect. Claiming "asylum" triggers a Social Security payout in the thousands of dollars....a relic of WW 11 emigres fleeing Europe----which illegals are using to loot the US taxpayer.
CASES IN POINT:
Many wealthy Mexicans claim asylum from drug wars ---then ride the US gravy train under multiple identities. They are also part of Mexico's plot to build a voting bloc in order to pressure vote-crazed Congressmen to vote billions in foreign aid.
Obama's Aunt Zeituni hired a pricey lawyer to claim asylum and strt adding the SS payout to the pile of US benefits she's already collecting. However, Auntie is well-connected back home---so it's doubtful she is in danger there---plus her nephew as president gives her some protection.
I was born, raised, and live here. Can I claim asylum?
I guess asylum from the Obama regime wouldn’t count, would it?
